Featured Resource:
Twayne's Author Series
Twayne's Author Series is a Gale database devoted to in-depth critical introductions to the lives and works of major writers of the world within the context of the time period in which they lived. This series features the content of more than 860 eBooks that comprise three series--United States Authors, English Authors, and World Authors--and is an ideal starting point for research papers on literary works and figures, special projects, and presentations. Users can quickly gain results by searching for a specific author, combining search criteria for a more complex search, or exploring thematic and chronological topics.

How to access: if you're using the RHEC network, via wired connection or wi-fi, you automatically have access.
This Month's Book Display:
Memoirs & Autobiographies
Memoirs tell a story from someone’s life. The best ones not only entertain but deeply resonate with readers, sharing stories that are hilarious, heartbreaking, horrifying, or a combination of all three. Through confession, humor, and poetic prose, memoirs are meant to bring us closer to ourselves.

This month the library is displaying some of the best memoirs in our collection.
